New issues

and interesting packs of cards

A specific variant of the English pattern has been used, inspired by some of the most iconic landmarks across New York City’s. To cover properly the printed metro cards, each face card has been individually screen printed in four colours of enamel ink. The designer quotes, “…metrodeck attempts to visually capture the common thread between commuters, public transportation, and chance.”
